Bits and Bobs

Well went fishing on Thursday. Steaming hot day and 8 of us went on the chartered boat from the Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne leaving at 7.15am..10 hrs of it.Didnt know any of them but did by the finish! 3 chinese and an Italian from the hotels in Eastbourne and one of them hadnt been fishing before and he caught 3 cod and a sea bass lucky sod! I had a few mackerel and pouting but thoroughly enjoyed myself for £45 pound including rod and bait hire. I thought this was excellent for a day out and we went wreck fishing about 12 miles out into the channel. Had to move out of the way of some big bar steward boats! I recommend it and will be going again in August. Hopefully to get a big conger or big cod!
Had Poppy to myself on Friday so decided to take her with Tom, Emma and Chris Pascoe to Drusillas.(Bought annual membership for 3 of us..me Gill and Laura) which means u can go as much as you want. Poppy is free! I think CP who has a new pi&s off Nikon wanted to take pictures but decided he need the cover of a baby rather than be classified as a perv! Anyway he took some good snaps which will appear here soon as. Tom took Emma in a wheelchair due to her recent op on both her feet and persisted in doing the Lou and Andy wheelchair sketch from Little Britain which was funny...Emma might not agree!!Poor old Gill had to go to work....but then someone has to earn the dosh for my boat trips! So its been a mighty hard week!
Met up with Andy Bliss today, an old mate for breakfast with Gill and Poppy in Bills in Lewes and caught up on the goss and talked about my last week and the old days. Hes a good old boy and good to see he hasnt changed a bit. We then went to Gorringes auctions viewing so the card will get hit this next week I have no doubt!
Wales played NZ again this week after a mauling last week. Lost but with 'hwyl' which for those of you who dont speak two languages is best described as 'inner spirit' or 'warmth'.Considering the side we put out I was well chuffed. I think it was a case of showing serious balls in adversity. Well done the boyos. Some youngsters now now how much work they have to do..looks good for the future and as long as England keep that Martin Johnson bloke theres always hope that Wales will beat England in Cardiff next Feb. Come on Jeff get me a flipping ticket!
